Another popular food spot for Catalans is La Champagneria. La Champagneria is located at Carrer de la Reina Christina 7. At La Champagneria you are able to get sandwiches, tapas, burgers, and cava for a cheap and affordable price all day long. La Champagneria also provides a great atmosphere for guests and is always crowded. When I arrived at La Champagneria, I was shocked that the cava was a light red shade. Even though the Cava was red, it was still delicious. As I stated before the restaurant is really cheap and attracts a nice crowd of locals and tourists. Similar to Bo de B, La Champagneria is very close to La Barceloneta, so many people stop at La Champagneria enjoy a sandwhich or tapa and a bottle of cava then head down to the beach for the day. I would consider La Champagneria one of the most authentic Spanish bars in Barcelona. I found it a bit strange when arriving to see meat hanging from the ceiling, garbage all over the floor and no chairs. My friends and I went around 3:00 in the afternoon and it was absolutely packed. Apparently, the place is packed every night and they maximize capacity by not having chairs. La Champagneria is also famous for its unique tapas, which for men are burgers and chicken breast sandwiches, and has very delicious croquettes. The bar is one of the most unique and most diverse places to eat and drink in Barcelona. Below are some pictures from my visit to La Champagneria.

On the right you can see meat hanging from the ceiling.
A look at how crowded the small bar was for 3:00 in the afternoon.
A look at behind the bar where the food is being prepared.
A good shot of the bar, menu, and meat hanging from the roof.
A shot at the outside of La Champagneria, notice how there is no sign and you can see how crowded the restaurant and bar has become during the middle of the afternoon.
